You can use more polygons to build the same shape with more detail, or a different shape. They did the latter, and that is the issue people are having; they are getting a different result instead of an improved version of the old one. I hope you can understand this part so we can all understand each other.

I've gone through every post and compiled them all into categories. Will update the first post with links to these. (Need to split up into separate posts because of length)

Faces are too rounded and smooth, and have lost definition of chins and cheekbones. Wrinkles have also been smoothed out too much. (Part 1, too many links)

Some eyebrow shapes changed, either in shape or thickness, which makes the 'feeling' of a character massively different. Some of the new eyebrows make the character look more aggressive or angry rather than gentle, friendly, kind, solemn, or thoughtful. Others have weird smudges underneath them.

Lack of eye highlights and/or eyes now having pupils that are too dark at the top is causing a dead look in the eyes. It also makes the eyes look half close and lidded, which impacts the character's neutral expression significantly.

Eyelashes are longer and thicker, changing the visible shape of eyes and also contributing to the dead eye look by covering any highlights that may be there. Eyelashes also seem to pop in and out of existence depending on distance of camera to the face.
